Do you ever find yourself just saying things that sound totally bizarre to your kids (if you have any)? I do it all the time. “Hey guys! What do you think about making *insert something strange-sounding here*” They pause and think, and either agree with enthusiasm, or go straight for the nooooooooooo. This was one of those times. This time, I got a huge green light. We often make tacos around here, but without shells, because of corn. The kids will eat them on tortillas/wraps, and everyone is happy. We also make what we call Taco Boxes for lunches and road trips. This pizza idea however was totally new, but I figured, it’s like a super giant taco! In the end, it turned out to be one of their favorite new pizzas that I’ve made, so here it is.

Heat a medium pot on medium heat, and empty the contents of the cans into your pot. Make sure you get the liquid bit at the bottom of the cans. Add your maple syrup and salt, and stir. It’s very hard and chunky at first, but then it will get easier. Once the beans are smooth and hot, turn off the heat and set aside.

Heat a large non-stick pan on high heat, and cook your meat. I don’t add oil or butter. Break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks. When it’s about half way done, add your seasonings. Continue to cook until the meat is fully cooked.

Start by rolling out your dough. We have a nice pizza pan with holes on the bottom. As I’ve shared before, the pan makes a HUGE difference. If you plan on making lots of pizzas for yourself, please, I beg of you, for all that’s good, right, and true in the world, please get a nice pizza pan. OK, once your dough has been rolled, spread the beans as you would a normal sauce. Next, add your cheese. We opted for a blend of yellow and white mainly because Kid Two loves the yellow cheese more than the white. I also figured it’s more traditional with a taco. Finally, load up on all of the other toppings. Bake at 425 for 19 minutes, and enjoy!!
